There is table that holds the balances, you have to calculate them. From http://victoriayudin.com/gp-reports/gl-tables/:
Summary Views:
GL11110 - Open Year Summary Master
GL11111 - Historical Year Summary Master
[Note: These views show debits, credits and net changes per period per account, they do not show the period balances. The reason to use these and not the corresponding GL10110 and GL10111 tables is that these views also include the Account Description.]
Which table holds the Period informationfor GL20000 or view Account Transactions. I am trying to reconcile to the Trial Balance.
What table holds the period information for the table GL20000 or the view Account Transactions

I am new to GP, and loaded the demo for first time, then will get MSDN licence and want to do contract work. Just getting the hang of this forum ... .
For the TWO database, you could download the demo. Since you have a license, you should have rights to this. The file is GP10.0Trial.exe (1.68 gb) and unzip the whole thing to a folder you create (2.42 gb, 508 files) (but don't continue with install). In there you will find two files: GPSTWODat.mdf (317 mb) and GPSTWOLog.ldf (122 mb). I believe you can then load this with SQL Server but you need to get the how to from an MS SQL Server techy which I am not there yet). I did notice on my install that these flashed by when they were being loaded.
The link for demo download is here:

My advice: do all this experimentaton on a totally separate stand-alone machine - not your production environment. Too risky to monkey with SQL back-door tricks etc with prod.

Here is a link to the GL tables page on my blog: http://victoriayudin.com/gp-reports/gl-tables/ for future reference and additional information.
If you're looking for all posted transactions you'll need to union GL20000 and GL30000.
last question... I am trying to write a script to extract a General Ledger (All journals) using SQL. WHich table(s) should I use (need to have account number, amount, period and date, journal number)?
I don't think the Microsoft licensing agreements allow us to just send this to someone, sorry. If you are a current GP customer, you can get this from your GP partner. Also, you're talking about a 380MB database here, even zipped, doubtful that you can do this over e-mail.
Can you make a backup and email to me... please.
I don't think there is any way to do this unless you can find another install and get a SQL backup of the TWO (that's always what is used for the sample company) database from it.
